West Auckland road updates
Not all sites are listed on this page, as some have already been repaired. Design work on others is still ongoing, and other roads will be added as we work through the programme.
Works may be completed on some roads without being added to this page, depending on the scale of the work and the number of residents affected.
We ask for patience as we work to repair more than 2,000 sites across Auckland.

Huia Road – various sites
11 May 2026
There are 2 slip sites along Huia Road currently in construction.
The first site is 634 Huia Road, Parau. Works started on 16 February 2026 and we expect to finish by June 2026.
The second site is Huia Road, 100m past Kaitarakihi Road. Works started mid-February 2026. This repair is large. We expect to complete it in the last quarter of 2026.
We are working to maintain one-lane access at these sites for traffic.
Ngaio Road, Waima
19 December 2025
This repair is nearly complete and the road is open. In 2026 the team will be back to complete some finishing work on the bank below the retaining wall. This will be completed without full road closure.
Tanekaha Road, Titirangi
11 May 2026
Works started on the slip repair outside 28 Tanekaha Road in March 2026.
We need to build 3 retaining walls to repair this slip.
The first stage of works includes the construction of the first wall. It also includes some temporary road repairs so the machinery can safely work in this location.
We will build the first retaining wall with 39 steel piles and concrete 16m deep along the road edge. The wall will be capped with a concrete beam that will double as a footpath at this location.
Due to the narrow width of the road, and the size of the machinery, this work can only be completed under full road closure during the construction of wall one.
Timetable for road closure
| Times | Access details |
| Monday to Friday, 8:30am | Road closed for works. On school days, the school bus will be able to go through in the morning before the road is closed. |
| 12pm to 12:30pm | Road open for resident access. |
| 12:30pm to 5:30pm | Road closed for works. On school days, the school bus will stop on Otitori Bay Road. Students will be escorted through the closed section on foot. |

| Emergency access | In the event of emergency, we will be able to open the road at short notice to allow emergency vehicles to pass through the site. |
Once we’ve done all work that requires a road closure, we will revert to the temporary traffic lights and have one lane open most of the time. We will update the community when changes occur.
We expect the works to take 4 to 6 months to complete.
